I have a direct wire connection from my ReplayTV to DVArchive.  With a wireless
connection to my laptop I have troubles streaming with 802.11b, but streaming
works well with 802.11g.  I have Belkin's 802.11g router and wireless card
which can be purchased for $40 and $25 each, AR (www.JandR.com)

I have not attempted to connect the Roku wirelessly, so I can't comment on
that.  CinemaSix does currently have problems with stream interruptions, but
I'm sure that can and will be solved.
